I actually like the hook, but as far as I can tell it's not directly mentioned in the article. I also checked the source and it doesn't really say that electricity in Turkey in general flows from the east to the west, merely that in that case electricity was unable to "flow westwards".

Made an ALT1 a bit more precise with a more up to date source
Chidgk1 (
talk) 14:09, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
Any other possible suggestions? ALT1 is not really that interesting of a hook in my opinion.

ALT5... that you should keep your phone well charged in Istanbul in case an earthquake cuts the power?
ALT6... that your home must have earthquake insurance before connecting to electricity in Turkey?Source: "The existence of compulsory earthquake insurance shall be checked ... in the ... electricity ... transactions"

If you can let me know which are interesting I will cite them.

I think the best option is ALT6; however, all the hooks and the article itself may need some copyediting.

Narutolovehinata5 Article has been copyedited - thanks
JML1148 - as a copyeditor can you improve on ALT6 or suggest a great hook?
Chidgk1 (

Chidgk1 For ALT6, I would say ALT6a: ... that homes must have earthquake insurance before connecting to electricity in Turkey?
JML1148 (

Oh yes better thanks -
Narutolovehinata5 - do you approve this DYK now?

At the moment I don't think I can continue the review myself so I'll ask a new reviewer to take over.

Recently promoted GA (at time of nomination). The article does not have any issues. A reading of the linked legislation to 6a (English translation) suggests that all dwellings on private property (and some other buildings) must have the earthquake insurance and that water and electricity companies are required to check for the compulsory earthquake insurance when conducting transactions (the "sub&ion" in the English translation appears to be going for the word "subscription", so referring to new service, cross-referencing the Turkish version of this law on their site). ALT6a is approved.

@
Chidgk1 and
Sammi Brie: I was going to promote this, but I am concerned about the hook. The article says, "After purchasing a property in an urban area, earthquake insurance is compulsory before electricity is connected." but the hook implies that all homes need the insurance. A proposed hook is below:
ALT6b: ... that homes in urban areas must have earthquake insurance before connecting to electricity in Turkey?
